In his prologue, Archbishop Demetrios says: "By God's grace in 2008, as Church, we must organize and bring to fruition a great new labor: Bringing back to the Church all of our brothers and sisters?aall the families of the Omogeneia who for various reasons do not possess an organic relationship with our church Communities. The sad phenomenon of the â??unchurchedâ?? that amount to sixty million Americans should not become a reality among baptized Orthodox Christians.â??
